Hey found this place a few months back and you may remeber I posted up here recently in the leads or rumours section to see if anyone knew what it was. After ALOT of searching I found this
"Dated 1931, with filtration plant mechanical equipment designed by Paterson Candy International for Grangemouth Town Council. Closed 1975, equipment upgraded 1985, site re-opened 1989 and finally closed 2000, sold into private ownership 2006. Monumental, 2-storey over raised battered basement, 4-bay, rectangular-plan, Italianate style former pump house with pyramidally-roofed, 4 stage, finialled angle tower. Prominently sited on hills to N of North Third Reservoir, with little altered interior and rare retention of early rapid gravity filters.
It contains possibly one of the first rapid gravity filters used in Scotland and is probably the only surviving example in such a complete state."

So on sunday, myself and Kingnothing41 took a trip up here again to try and gain access for the third time... and it was third time lucky for us as we finally got in got in...

Ladder up the tower
water tank at top of tower
Great place with plenty to see and in pretty good condition minus the broken glass of course, got loads more pics on my Photobucket so feel free to have a look.
